<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 200899, member: 6449&quot;]These are called &quot;Hobo nickels&quot; because they were popular as a sculpture medium among hobos. The buffalo nickel was the most popular coin for this sort of carving because of the large size of the head and the thickness of the coin and the design. Some of them are spectacular and many don&#039;t even resemble a man&#039;s face. A good article about them may be found at:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_Nickels" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_Nickels" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_Nickels</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can you post a picture of your coin?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve posted pictures of my two hobo nickels below.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
